Shamar McCoy Arrested Over Alleged 2024 Assault
According to TMZ, Shamar McCoy was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor battery charge tied to an alleged altercation that reportedly took place in November 2024. Court documents obtained by the outlet claim the incident involved Shamar, his then-boyfriend Alexander Green, and a man identified as Quentin McDowell.
Per the court filings, Shamar and Alexander allegedly went to Quentin’s home after Alexander and Quentin reportedly got into a dispute over the phone. Quentin told police that Alexander allegedly punched him several times with a closed fist, threw him to the ground, and continued kicking him while he was down. Authorities also allege that a witness claimed Shamar kicked Quentin in the head before he, Alexander, and the rest of their group left the scene in a burgundy Jaguar SUV. The alleged victim told police someone recorded the incident, later posted the footage to Instagram, and showed the video to investigators.
